Influence of the Wean-to-first-service Interval on the subsequent fallowing rate and litter size of Sows in Thailand

摘要

Data from 6,871 parity records, collecting from 8 commercial swine breeding herds which have been under the health and management services of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Kasetsart University for 2 years, were used to determine the relationships between the wean-to-first-service interval (WFS) and the subsequent farrowing rate and litter size. The regression procedures both logistic and polynomial were utilized to find the models best explaining the variability of the data.
